Projects - A sample of just some of our Projects

Twice a year we organize a 'Big Beach Clean'. The photo is from the 'Big Hello' National Community event for the May Bank holiday which included a Beach Clean, Free BBQ, Live Music and a Beach Scavenger Hunt for the kids.  It was a huge success, with over 65 attendees.  We look forward to hosting more events like this in the future after the COVID Lockdown is over. For our Annual Spring Clean we set up work stations around the village and afterwards we served food, cakes and refreshments in the Tennis Courts.  Top Model Sarah McGovern joined us !

We worked alongside volunteers of St. Brigids Special School, Dundalk to man water stations for the Carlingford Half Marathon.  

We c work closely with St Oliver’s NS in their projects throughout the year.  We offer advice and volunteer in the development of the school grounds and education in Biodiversity.  St. Oliver's N.S. have been working alongside the Tidy towns to ensure we are improving the community that we live in. ·  We share events to Cooley Parents & Toddler Group, local book clubs, Cor Cairlinn, The Sailing Club and Carlingford Knights Rugby Team

We rely on the local businesses for financial support and good works. We thank all our sponsors and highlight just a couple from 2019 whilst sincerely thanking every business that supports our efforts

McArdle’s held a charity raffle and fashion show in order to raise funds for Carlingford Tidy Towns and St. Oliver’s NS school
